little bit of advice.

[luka 8]

Hi, I am just after a little bit of advice.just started to try and work my lurcher. never had a working dog before and he is 10month old now.had a day out with the ferrets and he did realy well apart from running big circles round us every now and then, He had a few good runs at a few that bolted and cought 2 out of the 3 he had a run at. I want to start lamping with him and just wonderd if you could oofer any advice to help train him up with it and if the weather conditions will help. Also is there a resonable amount to pay for a lamp because they seem pritty pricey.

The dogs had a good start and will settle down and improve with more time in the field, a good quality lamping outfit will serve you well for years and make the job easier for you and the dog.You may be able to source a decent used set-up,but be wary of knackered battery,s.
